Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

25x+120=35x+80

25x+120 is Country Carpets equation

35x+80 is City carpets equation

x=4

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    25*x+120-(35*x+80)=0

Pull out like factors :

  -10x + 40  =   -10 • (x - 4)

Solve :    -10   =  0

Solve  :    x-4 = 0

Add  4  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 4

A sample of 1200 computer chips revealed that 45% of the chips fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotio
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.45 -0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{1200}}}=-2.08

p_v = P(Z

So the p value obtained was a low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of chips that fail in the first 1000 hours of their use is not significantly less than 0.48.   

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1200 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.45 estimated proportion of chips that fail in the first 1000 hours of their use

\mu_0 =0.48 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion si less then 0.48:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.48  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.48  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion  is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.45 -0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{1200}}}=-2.08

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v = P(Z

So the p value obtained was a low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of chips that fail in the first 1000 hours of their use is not significantly less than 0.48.

a student walks 50m on a bearing 0.25 degrees and then 200m due east how far is she from her starting point.​
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use Physics here for this concept of vectors. Here are some stipulations I have set for the problem (aka rules I set and then followed throughout the problem):

** I am counting the 50 m as 2 significant digits even though it is only 1, and I am counting 200 as 3 significant digits even though it is only 1. 1 sig dig doesn't really give us enough accuracy, in my opinion.

** A bearing of .25 degrees is measured from the North and goes clockwise; that means that measured from the x axis, the angle is 89.75 degrees. This is the angle that is used in place of the bearing of .25 degrees.

** Due east has an angle measure of 0 degrees

Now let's begin.

We need to find the x and y components of both of these vectors. I am going to call the first vector A and the second B, while the resultant vector will be C. Starting with the x components of A and B:

A_x=50cos(89.75) so

A_x=.22

B_x=200cos(0) so

B_x=200 and we need to add those results together. Due to the rules for adding significant digits properly, the answer is

C_x=200 (and remember I am counting that as 3 sig fig's even though it's only 1).

Now for the y components:

A_y=50sin(89.75) so

A_y=50 (which I'm counting as 2 sig fig's)

B_y=200sin(0) so

B_y=0 and we need to add those results together.

C_y=50

Now for the resultant magnitude:

C_{mag}=\sqrt{(200)^2+(50)^2}  and that gives us a final magnitude of

C_{mag}=206 m

Now for the angle:

Since both the x and y components of the resultant vector are in quadrant 1, we don't need to add anything to the angle to get it right, so

tan^{-1}(\frac{50}{200})=14

The girl is 206 meters from her starting point at an angle of 14 degrees
